[HTML][HTML] Change in carbonate budget and composition during subduction below metal saturation boundary

A Shatskiy, AV Arefiev, KD Litasov - Geoscience Frontiers, 2023 - Elsevier
It is generally accepted that carbonates can be subducted to the mantle depths, where they
are reduced with iron metal to produce a diamond. In this work, we found that this is not …
